REMINDERS…Torch Relay

Corporate Challenge has several ceremonies pattered after the Olympics. One of them is the Torch Relay. The relay starts with the lighting of the torch as a selected sited. From there the torch is routed throughout the community to gather as much public exposure as possible. The torch is then used to light the cauldron at Opening Ceremonies to declare the opening of the games.

The route is carefully planned, taking into consideration the time of day and traffic patterns. All hand-off points are designated to be convenient and safe. We invite all the companies participating in Corporate Challenge to be a part of this symbolic opening of the games.

If you wish to participate, indicate on the Verification of Events form and submit to the Corporate Challenge Coordinator by Feb. 11. At the first team captains meeting (Feb. 21) your company can choose the specific leg that you prefer to run. A bonus point will be given for running a leg of the relay.

Opening Ceremonies

If your company plans on bringing a booth or tent w/food for your employees, you must let me know by Feb. 18. We will map out where your team location will be at the Opening Ceremonies hosting site. Opening Ceremonies will take place at 6 p.m. directly after the Executive Relay.

Parade of Banners

We are not going to do our tradition Parade of Banners this year as Opening Ceremonies is at one enclosed location. Rather, we want your company to send in two picks; one of your company logo and one of your team. These pictures will be displayed as a power point at the Opening Ceremonies. Deadline for pictures is Feb 18.
